ELECTROPHORESIS EXPERIMENTS

In this lab students will understand the action and specificity of restriction enzymes, while learning the components involved in the process of DNA electrophoresis and the role of each component as it applies to the entire process of electrophoresis ... more

Restriction enzymes are enzymes that are capable to cleaving, or cutting, DNA molecules in very specific spots based on the DNA molecule’s sequence of bases. Their discovery and isolation in the latter half of the 20th century provided ... more

While over 99% of DNA is the same among all humans, the remaining part is unique to every individual (with the exception of identical twins). These differences are hereditary, with parts of the unique sequence coming from each parent. By using ... more

DNA fingerprinting is one of the strongest forms of evidence in forensic investigations. In this activity students will perform agarose gel electrophoresis on four DNA samples to determine if DNA from suspects matches that of DNA found at a ... more

Introduce your students to this valuable separation science in a safe and colorful manner. Unlike DNA and other molecules which cannot be seen during electrophoresis, this activity uses dyes that can be observed during the actual procedure ... more

Transparent acrylic chamber for carrying out experiments using the “DNA Fingerprint” experiment set. The bottom is transparent to UV light, allowing observation of how electrophoresis progresses over time by means of fluorescent ... more

Stabilised power supply with two outputs for operating electrophoresis chambers. Timer (1 - 999 min.) with alarm function. Mains voltage:                  ... more
